Weissenbach (castle ruins)

From Reidenbach the main road goes up through the green Alpine meadows of the Simmental to Weissenbach (846 m/2,776ft), and 2km/1mi beyond this through a narrow passage which separates the Lower from the Upper Simmental. Beyond the crag of Laubeggstalden (ruined castle; waterfall on the Simme) the valley opens out again. The road passes the ruined castle of Mannenberg (1,016 m/3,333ft), on the left.
